Person brings lunch to work, coworkers keep taking it, person refuses to share and faces backlash from coworkers: 'It’s basic respect not to expect someone to share their lunch every day'

A friendship with a coworker is a truly special bond. You probably see them more than your family, much less your real friends. They know everything about your day-to-day but nothing about who you are outside the workplace. You can say things to them that you couldn't say to a lot of other people. It's one of the most rewarding parts of being in the workforce. There are a lot of ways you can get close to your coworkers, as well. Maybe you share a lunch break together and chop it up in the break room. Maybe you grab some drinks after a long day in the office. Maybe you air your grievances about the boss man at the water cooler. 

But, like all relationships, there are boundaries in coworker bonds that shouldn't be crossed. One person had their limits pushed by their coworkers, and they sought out the advice of Redditors to help them figure out which way to respond to their inconsiderate actions. After all, what would you do if you came into the office with a lunch you were excited to eat, and everyone surrounded you like vultures to get a bite? Read on, dear reader…
